Abstract
(HB6213 · 103rd Legislature) Elections: other; agreement among the states to elect the President by national popular vote; enter into. Creates new act. Latest action (2026-07-14): Bill Electronically Reproduced 07/03/2026
Why this matters
If enacted and joined by enough states to reach 270 electoral votes, the compact would change how Michigan’s presidential electors are allocated — from the statewide popular vote winner to the national popular vote winner. For voters and clerks, the mechanics of casting and counting ballots do not change, but the downstream effect of Michigan’s certified totals on elector selection would. The bill’s introduction marks Michigan’s entry into an ongoing multi-state debate over presidential election method.
